Abstract
Between the years 1903 and 1908 Seventh-day Adventist missionaries were active in Central China. Medical work was used to pioneer mission efforts in the province of Honan (now Henan) and was conducted by Drs. Arthur and Bertha Selmon and Drs. Harry and Maud Miller. In 1905 the first Sabbath School was organized, with a membership of only ten individuals. In 1906 Francis Arthur Allum and Percival Laird, followed by Roy Cottrell, evangelized further south in the province of Hunan. At the same time the team in Henan was augmented with Eric Pilquist and John Westrup.
